Partial Points Feature

For exam questions with multiple answers within a single question (e.g., fill-in-the-blank with multiple blanks, multiple-choice with multiple correct answers), you can award partial points for partially correct responses.

Note: This feature is available on iOS/Mac version 1.2.7 and later. Windows version will support this feature in an update scheduled for January 2026.

Question Types Supporting Partial Points

Question Type Condition for Partial Points
Fill in the Blank When there are 2 or more blanks
Ranking When there are 3 or more items to arrange
Connect When there are 3 or more connection pairs
Pin-Point When there are 2 or more correct pins
Multiple Choice When there are 2 or more correct choices
Select Picture When there are 2 or more correct images

How to Set Partial Points

  1. In the question edit screen, questions meeting the conditions display "(Partial Points Available)"
  2. Tap the "Set Partial Points" button to enable the partial points feature
  3. Set individual point values for each answer (blank, choice, etc.)
  4. The total score for the question is the sum of all answer point values

Scoring Rules

Tip: Using partial points allows for more granular assessment of respondent understanding. For example, if a fill-in-the-blank question has 5 blanks and 3 are answered correctly, you can award partial credit instead of marking it as completely incorrect.
